@avclub-b6ad9ed5179f5855fa5b91a7f2b1ee80:disqus :  That wouldn't be enough.

That approach kind of makes it seem like evil is less a matter of what you do than your mindset when you do it.

@avclub-b6ad9ed5179f5855fa5b91a7f2b1ee80:disqus :  Um, yeah, but they would have to "pounce" with evidence that the money is from Walt's criminal enterprise.  People with Gretchen and Elliot's resources would have the capability to get around that.  As I already said, they could easily pay the trust out of their own…

One of the things I find odd about many of the critiques by people who are disappointed that Walt didn't meet his 'deserved' gruesome, pathetic end, is the degree to which many of those same critiques incorporate implicit or explicit praise for figures of equal or greater criminality, like Gus and (especially) Mike. …

It would be looked into, but they could just say "we feel sad about Walt's family, since he left Gray Matter and thus didn't become rich, and so they're destitute, so here's some money".  They're worth billions in total.  It would be even easier to set up such an account with their own money, which is completely free…

@avclub-b6ad9ed5179f5855fa5b91a7f2b1ee80:disqus :  What criminal enterprise?  They would have to actually show that, and with people with Gretchen and Elliot's resources, it wouldn't be that hard, I imagine.  All they would have to do is use their own money, which legitimately has no ties to Walt, and (if they want)…

Marie knew that Jesse was working with Hank and Gomez.  If he does go to the police or is found, whatever, it's far from impossible for him to convince them of what happened.  The little cell where they were keeping him is there, for instance, and he's got all those injuries from being tortured.  Plus, the murder of…

I was happy that we, as a society, decided the Stuart Townsend was too boring to be a movie star.  Now we just need to downgrade him past "TV star", which from the looks of this shouldn't take long.  And he no longer has "the guy banging Charlize Theron" to fall back on as a trump card.

Who?  That compound is quite isolated, from the looks of it.

I thought that might be what was going to happen when he headed into the lab area.

I tend to think it was improvised, but there's not a ton of textual indicators either way.

Why would Walter Jr. reject money from Gretchen and Elliot?

@avclub-ce11a6d53c3c8c10c196e2114a8d5149:disqus :  The compound doesn't seem like it has neighbours.  Particularly given the kinds of activities being carried out there out of doors, at day and night.

I was confused by the passage of time there, but that compound seems pretty isolated, so I'm not sure how else the cops would have been summoned.

Jesse was presumably the one who brought the police, so I would imagine he would tell them what happened.

Redeemed as much as was possible under the circumstances, I would say.

I don't think so.  It'd be pretty easy for Jesse to prove that he was being held there against his will (the little hole they were keeping him in, all his injuries, etc.), and he was presumably the one who brought the police in the first place.

Walt won in the end, basically.  He died, sure, but he was already dying (a fact that's been hanging over the final season and severely limits the degree of karma he could ever have received); and, for that matter, he took the bullet while protecting Jesse.  He even found a way around the one substantive piece of…

I thought it started off rather slow, but once the Homeland characters showed up it was a lot of fun, particularly "Carrie" (who goes from slow-mo beating Homer up to slow-mo making out with him in about three seconds).  And the climactic punchline that the plan fails because the power plant doesn't have an air…

Just wait until halfway through the season it's revealed that Saul is the real head of Al-Qaeda, and he masterminded the bombing in order to get a sweet new job, rid himself of meddlesome colleagues like Estes, and guilt his wife into coming back.  And it all went exactly as planned.
